It needs to be kept clean behind the extractor, or it will sometimes fail to fully extract and eject a fired cartridge. I think the squared-off trigger guard is goofy. I never wrap my left hand around the front of the trigger guard and I prefer the look of a rounded trigger guard. The front sight is unfinished stainless steel, so it is hard to see on the target I paint the front sight on my flat black so I can get a good sight picture. None of the above would keep me from buying a and none of the above kept me from buying this one.
I like my The police departments have all traded them in, Smith and Wesson stopped making these guns decades ago, and the supply is drying up. The next one up is a Springfield Armory Target model 9mm Springfield Armory changed the name on this gun.
I knew it was accurate, but I had not really played with it that much to find out what loads it liked best.
Springfield makes a quality gun. The fit and finish on mine are superb. I think that as s go, Springfield Armory is one of the best. They are accurate and they hold up well. So how do I like the SIG? I like the look of the Cerakote finish and the SIG grips, and gun just feels right in my hand.
The grips fit like a glove, and the grip texture works. It is one seriously good-looking and good-handling handgun. The SIG is the only pistol used in this test that does not have adjustable sights. The SIG literature told me they offer sights of different heights, and the rear sight can be drifted left or right in its dovetail, but none of that was necessary on my gun.
My SIG shoots exactly to its point of aim at 50 feet take a look at that target at the top of this blog again. Speaking of sights, the SIG has what is evidently a fairly expensive set of Tritium sights that glow in the dark I think they are about a hundred bucks if you buy them separately.
The glow is not like the lume of a watch dial; instead, they have something else going on that makes them light up at night. You can see that in this photo I took in the dark:. If I was a lot younger and I was running around in a white Ferrari with Miami Vice music playing while chasing bad guys at night, maybe Tritium sights would do it for me. I think the Tritium sights are gimmicky, and the little lenses or whatever they are for the Tritium inserts are distracting. Plain black sights work best for me.
Your mileage may vary. So, on to the main attraction: The 9mm loads and how they performed in each of the three handguns. Magazine Follower Product : Magazine Spring, 10 Round Product : A.

My new safety release lever arrived in the mail a few days later. When the new sear release lever arrived, I had to strip the gun down to the bare frame. It was a matter of assemble the gun, try it, take it all apart again, file the sear release lever a little bit, reassemble the gun, try it again, and repeat the process until the decocker worked the way it is supposed to.
The whole thing took me about an hour of disassembling, testing, filing, and reassembling. I like doing this sort of stuff. With a little bit of grit sandpaper, you can keep a stainless gun looking new forever. I was really pleased with the way this one turned out. It looks like a new gun now. Nah, scratch that pardon the pun. I think Smith finished these guns with grit abrasive, which is a little rougher than grit. Mine looks better than new. Polished, almost. It really is a thing of great beauty.
My standard 9mm load is 5. Yeah, I know, you can buy 9mm ammo cheaper than you can reload it these days.
